Graphic files...

From: KevinO@hrpmsi.com

I'm searching for nice graphic files of bluegrass and folk related photographs. These are simply for compiling some nice images and for screensavers and wallpaper and what not. Oddly enough, I can't seem to find alot. I'm an avid banjo picker so what I'd really like to find are some nice high quality pics of live banjo pickin... Any help would be appreciated!

Kevin: A while back, I ran a search of the Levy sheet music site using the single word 'banjo' and found some really fine old lithographs of 10-century banjo graphics, but they're not in the best ethnic taste or political correctness. The Deering banjo site [www.deeringbanjos.com] has an old photo of me as an endorsement of the Deering Ivanhoe, and one of John Hartford with his custom-made Maple Blossom. Go to 'Models' in the upper right-hand section and click on the model names and scroll down. If I run across any others, I'll holler at you.

Kevin...a trick I found...go here enter 'banjo' in the search box..(or whatever you might want a pic of)

then you will have to copy and paste the addresses they give you..(they want you to pay them to get to it from their site)

or: go to Alta Vista search engine and enter image:banjo

gets you some of the same, byt without the thumbnail pics...

Kevin, there are some static pictures of banjos at the

Deering Banjo Company website.

They are fairly high-quality pictures.

They also have links to other banjo sites. I haven't had a chance to follow them yet, so I can't say what is on them.
